About Hardware AMD A6-3400M

Released in mid-2011, the AMD A6-3400M is a mobile processor from the Llano family designed for the mid-range laptop segment. It has 4 cores and 4 threads with a base speed of 1.4 GHz that can increase to 2.3 GHz thanks to AMD's Turbo Core technology. Carrying a 32nm fabrication process, the A6-3400M offers good power efficiency with a TDP of 35W, making it a popular choice among conventional laptop users at the time. The main advantage of this processor lies not only in having enough cores for light multitasking, but also in the integration of an onboard GPU, the AMD Radeon HD 6520G. This GPU has 320 shader cores based on the Terascale 2 architecture, which is capable enough to run light graphics applications to older games with low resolution and graphics quality settings. The combination of CPU and GPU in one chip is designed to provide a balance between computing and graphics performance in one energy-efficient package.

In terms of performance, the A6-3400M can handle everyday computing needs such as browsing the internet, watching videos, listening to music, typing documents, and other light productivity tasks. However, in heavier usage scenarios or multitasking with many applications open at once, its performance starts to show limitations, especially when combined with a small RAM capacity such as 2GB. When compared to the same generation of Intel Core i3 processors, the A6-3400M does lag behind in single-thread performance, which is an important aspect for running modern applications that are not fully optimized for multi-core. In tests on a Lenovo Sabine B475 device with 2GB DDR3 RAM and Windows 7 operating system, the A6-3400M's performance showed that it is still quite responsive for light use, although it is no longer ideal for today's heavier workloads. Even so, the A6-3400M is still an attractive option for users who want a budget laptop with basic multimedia capabilities and a decent user experience for everyday needs.

About Hardware Intel Core i5 1135G7

The Intel Core i5-1135G7 is a quad-core mobile processor introduced in late 2020 as part of Intel’s 11th generation Tiger Lake lineup. Designed for thin and light laptops, this CPU delivers a strong balance of performance, power efficiency, and modern features, making it a popular choice for both casual users and professionals. Featuring 4 cores and 8 threads through Hyper-Threading Technology, it operates at a base clock of 2.4 GHz and can reach up to 4.2 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost, ensuring smooth multitasking and snappy responsiveness for day-to-day applications.

Built using Intel’s advanced 10nm SuperFin process, the i5-1135G7 offers improved efficiency and thermal performance over previous 14nm generations. With a configurable TDP ranging from 12W to 28W, OEMs can adjust the performance envelope depending on the device’s thermal design. The standout feature of this processor is its integrated Intel Iris Xe Graphics, equipped with 80 Execution Units and a dynamic frequency of up to 1.3 GHz. Compared to older Intel UHD Graphics, Iris Xe brings a massive leap in performance, capable of handling casual gaming, 4K video playback, and GPU-accelerated workloads like video rendering or image editing.

In benchmark tests such as Cinebench R23, the i5-1135G7 scores around 5661 points (multi-core) and 1334 points (single-core), showcasing excellent performance for a low-power chip. These scores reflect its capability to handle modern productivity software, web-based workflows, and even creative tools like Adobe Photoshop or Premiere Pro though for heavier workloads, a higher-end CPU may still be recommended.

Real-world performance testing was done on a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6, a budget-to-midrange laptop equipped with 12GB DDR4 3200MHz dual-channel memory (8+4 configuration). This setup, combined with Windows 10 and Windows 11 22H2, allows the i5-1135G7 to fully utilize its integrated GPU and high-speed memory interface for a snappy and responsive user experience.

Whether you're a student, a professional, or a casual user looking for a capable, energy-efficient processor, the Intel Core i5-1135G7 stands out as one of the best value choices in the ultrabook category.
